- Master star navigation by building your knowledge rather than relying on technology. "Signpost charts" make finding stars easy. Assuming no prior knowledge of astronomy, the book concentrates on features that can be made out with the naked eye or binoculars.
- All 88 Major and Minor Constellations, and the planets, included. Along with beautiful 4-colour illustrations of each, and the myths and legends behind hundreds of individual stars, lose yourself in the magic of the night sky.
- Plan your year around the unmissable celestial moments with the "full-sky maps" that show which constellations are viewable and where, every month.
